Festering Festivities

Take the skin off my back turn me into a rug

Treat me as everybody else, something to walk over

Tell me i am important and original to get what you want

Tear the teeth from my skull, cauterize my gums together

Nothing I say every seem important anyway

Sew my hands and feet together so you know I will never be able to run away 

When you have finished saw my head off and mount it on the wall

If you have company over just cover my face so I will not be able to shame you

Just make sure nobody enters your closet space, for that is where you left my corps to rot

Leaving me to fester slowly away to join the skeletons in your bedroom
